Per Heather Engel of NHL.com, Aube-Kubel (lower body) is expected to be available for Saturday's game versus Detroit, head coach Lindy Ruff said Friday.

EDGE Analysis

Aube-Kubel has had only one practice, and that may cause him to be a healthy scratch Saturday. Aube-Kubel suffered the injury Opening Night in Prague on Oct. 4, and he has missed the last seven games. If Aube-Kubel sits out Saturday, he is expected to rejoin the lineup Monday versus Florida.
